You take the vitamins and go for inoculations...





No, no, no, no, no NO!
I appear to have something brewing within my system that is alien to my interior habitat.

You rest and do what you have been brainwashed to believe, eat healthy with plenty of fruits and vegetables and wash your hands frequently, drink lotsa water and take appropriate vitamins and lastly get those inoculations that the CDC recommends for anyone with chronic illnesses and their caretaker too should, in our case, Hubby.
And yet even so I did have that flu shot in September, the fourth, to be exact, I have had three consecutive respiratory infections from October through November; and now?

Who knows what now?
Don't laugh when I tell you my symptoms of today's latest, because they are weird in my book too.
This morning my tongue felt as if it had been splattered with glass shards. Then if that wasn't enough my voice had a sexy but odd hoarseness to it, but did not feel sore.
I Googled the odd sensation on my tongue and swiftly found the cure, a teaspoon of honey and so I took it and do you know what?
My tongue that was feeling like nasty stinging sharpened cuts all over it was immediately healed!
And the hoarseness disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared, but then en-route to the gym/rehab my stomach started to go berserk, gassy and nauseous. I tried my Pepcid and some club soda and it did help a bit.

I finished my workout, and we went out to eat and I ordered what I thought was not troublesome for my tummy and it appeared not to be.

When we arrived home I was freezing, the air outside was seventy-nine Fahrenheit and indoors with the air on it was seventy-seven. But I was freezing cold!

My tummy was not completely better either and so I got into bed, under the covers, asked Hubby to get my socks and put the thermostat up a degree. Again one would think I had a fever but no, I had a 97.6 temp, and my blood pressure was checked by Hubby and it was real low, 80/48, he took it two more times after spread out over an hour's time, 90/50, until it was raised to a normal number of 110/60!

Hubby again made Progresso light soup, this time their chicken noodle with cinnamon toast. I jazzed up the soup with garlic and black pepper, said to boost with the natural anti-biotic affects of this Italian penicillin, ha, after all it is Progresso, true?
Green tea was my beverage of choice without any sweeteners or lemon, tummy, ya know... 

I started to feel a bit better after dinner and so I removed layers of clothing and started to write this blog, and then I began sneezing and nosy running all uncontrollably and Gosh, could this all just be a generic run of the mill cold that with all the C's + D's and B's of every variety and multi vitamins and healthy eating I try to manage?
Geez, I must have forgotten what a cold is like; you see for me it is usually all or nothing, allergies top the list of some of these similar reactions, and now I am coughing, oh DAMN!
And to think I was going to write about the interesting bit of newsworthy deputy handcuffing the neighbor directly across the street. Hubby and I both swear that house is cursed… Sadly we have no idea why he was thrown in the back of the Sheriff’s car with cuffs on… although if I did know that would have made a much more interesting blog for that I am more than sure…
Now Hubby and I both have a theory about that ‘rental or even owned’ home across from us, maybe lead poisoning in its 1958 paint, or radon causing people to go berserk each time someone moves in?
It really is so many strange coincidences that everyone that has been in that home in the nearly sixteen years we have lived here, have either been involved in drugs or other illegitimate escapades; the turnover is fairly often and so we remain, always hoping the next ones will be so-called  ‘NORMAL’? Who knows?
On that note of GOOD GRIEF, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
